plan to exit a business

Our business exit planning ensures your strategy, whether you're selling, passing on, or retiring, maximises value and reduces stress.

Planning Your business Exit

Whether you plan to exit your business in five years or fifteen, early planning ensures you achieve your personal and financial objectives.

An exit is rarely just a financial event as it affects your legacy, your team, and what comes next for you personally. The earlier you start planning, the more options you have, such as time to build value, address weaknesses a buyer might flag, and structure the sale in a way that works for your tax position and your goals.

why you should plan your business exit early

The value of your business depends on multiple factors. Early planning allows you to build value, address issues, and prepare the business for sale. We can help you understand what you want to achieve from an exit, financially and personally.

types of exit

Trade sale to another business

Selling to a competitor or larger business in your sector, often the quickest route to a full exit.

Management buyout (MBO)

Selling the business to your existing management team, keeping continuity for staff and clients.

Institutional investment or private equity

Bringing in outside investment to fund growth or provide a partial exit, while retaining some involvement.

Family succession

Passing the business on to a family member, with planning to manage tax and ensure a smooth handover.

Gradual retirement

Stepping back from the business slowly over time, rather than exiting in one go.
